A 23-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, who has been in a coma for seven months, gave birth to a healthy baby girl last month. According to the British Daily Mirror newspaper, Shafiya was seriously injured after being involved in a motorcycle accident 40 days after she became pregnant.
The woman, who was without a helmet on her partner’s motorcycle, had an accident in March when her burqa got stuck in the rear wheel of the motorcycle.
According to the report, Shafiya has since been in a coma and has undergone five separate brain surgeries at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences hospital in Bulandshahr.
The woman had part of her skull surgically removed to relieve the pressure on her brain.
The young woman is connected to a lung ventilator to continue breathing. During delivery, doctors removed the device and moved the young woman’s head and legs from time to time to perform the procedure.
Surgeon Deepak Gupta described the case as “extremely unusual”. In my 22-year neurosurgery career, I have never encountered such a case in this hospital.”
